In the wilds of rural New Mexico, I sat on a rock outcropping staring into the abyss of a seemingly endless landscape. The mountainous region’s arid climate leaves one wondering how anything could survive here. Yet, wildlife thrives. Deer, elk, aoudad, turkey, quail, coyotes and many more species make their home amongst the cactus and scrubby trees. In the future, hopefully a healthy population of Mexican Grey Wolves will again roam these lands.
